.. _`WBEM indication listener`:

WBEM indication listener
========================

*New in pywbem 0.9 as experimental and finalized in 0.10.*

The WBEM indication listener API supports creating and managing a thread-based
WBEM listener that waits for indications (i.e. events) emitted by a WBEM
server using the CIM-XML protocol. The API supports registering callback
functions that get called when indications are received by the listener.

See :ref:`WBEM subscription manager` for the API for viewing and managing
subscriptions for indications on a WBEM server.
